NodeJS

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime, that means it can execute JavaScript outside of the browser.

This enables us to use JavaScript for pretty anything, like using JavaScript for the backend.

Or for desktop applications.

This section will focus on node as a runtime, as well as how to use it for the backend.

console.log('Hello, World!')

The above script would normally need the browser to be executed.

But with node.js we can execute it as follows;

$ node example.js
Hello, World!
